We also did that after Hurricane Ike when our part of Houston had no power for almost a week! Our generator powered the trailer AC (when needed - right after the storm it wasn't very hot) and the fridges in the house - the essentials! We cooked on a gas stove on a table in the driveway.
The use of a generator and camping trailer to stay comfortable after a storm knocked out power for so long is such a smart idea. It's definitely a good feeling to at least have the essentials taken care of until the utilities can be restored. I bet it brought some comfort and normalcy to the situation to be able to cook a meal outdoors together too.
